Land UseLegislationPlanning & Density
The Pacific Palisades Community Council opposes SB 79, a housing density bill that would mandate streamlined approval for multi-family buildings near transit stops, arguing it lacks an exemption for very high fire hazard severity zones and poses public safety risks following the Palisades Fire. The council requests that Governor Newsom encourage Senator Wiener to withdraw or amend the bill to include a full exemption for fire hazard areas, or veto it if passed without such exemption.
